Is this the reason that the Republicans were freaked out?
It just occurred to me that every school child 14 years and older that was inspired by President Obama yesterday is a potential voter in 2012. Can you really picture any of them standing in line for hours to vote for Mitt Romney? Do you think the GOP realizes this? Is that why they threw such a hissy fit?
To those of you who don't know the difference between inspire and indoctrinate, I understand. You obviously haven't had anyone inspire you in quite a while. It is not about politics or agendas. It is about someone challenging your better self.

You hit the nail on the head. If I were a Republican, I'd be worried that these kids might see for themselves, the disparity between a Republican President and a Democrat. They're afraid their kids might 'like' Obama.

No, Obama got the young and naive vote in 2008 so he's a sure lock for the young and just outta high school voters in 2012.

If the GOP could they would not allow Obama or any other effective Democrat any platform to look decent on.
The president tries to motive youngsters. Sure, the kids are going to become moderately endeared to him compared to other politicians because they don't know any others.

Sh/t if Hussein could inspire school children I would be all for it.
No its just a new propaganda outlet.
It is very communist I am sure Fidel and Chavez are proud of Hussein about now.
Source(s): No government programs have worked neither did this. But he needs to stay away from the children. - How do you think about the answers? You can sign in to vote the answer.

This is what they are worried about because Obama has a good following among the young!

No Cindy. It was because the Whitehouse originally stated the speech would cover political topics, not the boring commencement speech that was given. George H Bush was given crap about a similar speech he gave. My 6 yr old has enough common sense not to vote for BO.

Has this occurred to you, that Obama's first speech, the one that was thrown in the trash had worksheets attached to it for the children to fill out. That is against federal law, did you know that?
